The student nurse
Lucy is studying for a BSc (Hons) in adult nursing at Oxford Brookes University.
Why nursing?
My initial interest in nursing waned after lots of people told me that the pay was poor and the work undervalued. I opted to study American studies at Reading University but I didn’t really enjoy the admin work that I did after graduating. I hated working behind a desk and knew I needed a change – so I revisited my original career interest and applied for a nursing degree course.
